Hot Flash Pillow — cooling neck pillow
For anyone who overheats

Millions of people — men and women — suffer from overheating, night sweats, and disrupted sleep. There's finally a better answer.

Whether it's hormonal changes, stress, medication side effects, or chronic pain — being too hot is downright uncomfortable and claustrophobic. The latest research has proven that being overheated at night makes it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. Simply cooling the body down can make all the difference.

The Hot Flash Pillow is the gentlest, most effective way to cool down fast, anytime. Drape it around your neck and feel your body's thermostat begin to reset — naturally. It helps relieve overheating and night sweats, eases aches and pains, and improves your quality of life.

The Science

Why the Hot Flash Pillow works

The Stellate Ganglion, a star-shaped cluster of nerves in the neck, is connected to parts of the brain involved in core body temperature regulation. It sends signals to the brain's hypothalamus — the body's temperature control center.

At times the hypothalamus becomes confused — triggered by diminished estrogen in women, reduced testosterone in men, stress, or medication. In its confused state, it tries to rid the body of heat by dilating blood vessels and opening sweat glands. The result is sudden, intense overheating: flushing, sweating, and discomfort that can disrupt sleep and daily life. These episodes can last minutes to an hour and trigger anxiety, a quickened heart rate, irritability, and nausea.

Beyond overheating, research has shown that an overactive brain — running too hot — is a primary driver of insomnia. Cooling the head helps quiet this activity and restore natural sleep.

Building on that science

Comfortably chilling the area surrounding the Stellate Ganglion — much like applying cold to a sports injury — helps reset the body's temperature control and provides fast, natural relief. Those who've put the science to the test unanimously agree: the Hot Flash Pillow works.

Overheating & The Stellate Ganglion

A study of breast cancer survivors directly targeted the Stellate Ganglion to test whether it could relieve overheating and night sweats. The study was a clear success.

"Numbing up the Stellate resets the body's thermostat and makes it work like it's supposed to." — Dr. Eugene Lipov, Advanced Pain Centers Harvard Women's Health Watch, Sept. 2008

Insomnia & Brain Cooling

A 2011 study fitted insomniacs with cooling caps circulating water over the prefrontal cortex. The result: subjects fell asleep nearly as fast and slept nearly as long as those without insomnia. Cooler caps produced even more sleep.

"

What I love about it is it's soft enough to put on my bare skin, yet cold enough to alleviate my symptoms instantly. The Hot Flash Pillow is a life-saver!

Laura Beso, M.A., L.M.F.T.Seattle, WA
"

I was a little skeptical before I tried it, but it works great. When I put it around my neck, the overheating stops almost immediately. Unlike a cold pack that hurts, the pillow feels really good and is a comfortable cold.

Cheryl Arteaga, Clinical ScientistAltadena, CA
"

As a long distance runner, I'm continually icing muscular stresses after a run. The Hot Flash Pillow is far superior to traditional ice packs — the chill is uniform, lengthy, and dry. I recommend it to any athlete, male or female.

Bob B., Long Distance RunnerExeter, NH
"

My new Hot Flash Pillow has given me several consecutive nights of actual sleep for the first time in a long time. The size and heft are perfect. I just never thought of sleeping with something on my neck — it really makes a difference in my outlook on life.

Sherry B. HarwinYucca Valley, CA
"

As someone with Fibromyalgia and lower back disc issues, I use the Hot Flash Pillow a few times a week. My doctor has been telling me to use ice for years and I just couldn't — traditional packs are either too cold or not cold enough. This feels great right out of the freezer.

I'm a professional musician and I use the Hot Flash Pillow for icing my hands, neck, and shoulder after playing gigs. I'm surprised at how effective and comfortable it is — it's also great just to cool down on a hot summer day.

GTR, Professional MusicianSeattle, WA
"

For the price of a jar of cream or a packet of pills, I get effective and repeated comfort. It starts working as soon as you drape it on — soft, lovely, wonderfully well-made. Captures just the right amount of cold and releases it evenly. Great gift idea too!

Phyllis KaelinCulver City, CA
"

Soft, not too heavy to wear on my neck, and it definitely cooled me down right away. The cold right out of the freezer is not painful — rather it's slow and effective and gentle. No unpleasant odor like other cold packs I've tried. An amazing addition to comfort care.

Suzanne RicciMalibu, CA
"

I've tried other pillow products to control my discomfort, but they needed to be filled with water, eventually had an odor, and were not comfortable. The Hot Flash Pillow is soft, dry, and comfortable right out of the freezer. I can't recommend it enough — it really works!
